The 2009 U2 Thread - No Line On The Horizon Album & Tour

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I think I'm gonna shoot for the LV show. I too have really gotten into the album, it took some time to warm up but I really like it now.

Wow KimmyDisneyNerd, are you gonna come to Vegas all the way from Ohio?

Are you aiming for GA or a seat? I can't decide between GA for Pasadena & Vegas or getting a good seat at least once. It's really hard to pass up GA but waiting in line all day gets rough.

I go out to Vegas quite a bit.... I figured I would just go that weekend. I'm most definitely going to get a seat. I was fortunate to be up at the stage twice for the last tour. I agree hard to pass up GA tho!

I'm getting to like this album. It has take me a few days. I sounds a lot like the Achtung Sessions.
Can't wait to watch them live though.

Major U2 fan here. I plan to see them on this tour.

I think I can take one more GA all day outside the stadium experience. hehe. It is just soooo worth it to be at the stage.

Just for fun, here are some pics I took last tour in Miami during the two shows.

Hi there!!! It does sound a lot like the Achtung Sessions! Have you seen them live before?

Yay, I'm always excited to meet new U2 fans!! Where do you plan on catching the tour?

Yeah, if Muse ends up being the opener for Pasadena & Vegas I will be in that GA line by 5am. I can't handle being stuck in the middle of a big crowd so I will need to be at the front to not feel trapped. Besides, it's always been fun to wait all day! We get a poker game going, watch movies, get food and catch up with the same people we see every tour. Good times!!

BTW, your pictures are awesome!!!! I took some too but they didn't come out anywhere near that good. Thanks for sharing!!! Here's a few that I posted on my last thread.

Anyone know why FedEx Field isn't listed on ticket master yet? They go on sale Monday. All other venues/dates are listed already.

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

IDK, but the Chicago show is not letting me buy yet!

Isn't Chicago an hour behind the east coast? It's probably 10am local time.

Probably at FedEx field in D.C. Or possibly Charlottesville or North Carolina. Haven't decided yet.

Massive U2 fan here from a multi-generational U2 fan family.

My sisters and brother have tickets for the Chicago show (they're in Indiana). I'm waiting for Tampa. I'm sure more dates/shows will open up because Miami isn't on the list and they *always* do Miami!

My big thrill was waiting outside the arena at Tampa last time around with my daughter, hoping U2 would come out and talk (which I hear they do in Miami). They didn't in Tampa, but we were there when they drove in and we got smiles & waves from Adam (who is drop-dead gorgeous) and even Larry!

I'm a *bummed* about the stadium tours. We sat 13 rows from stage, Edge side, last time, and were close to the ramps.

Loving NLOTH. I have to listen to a CD straight about 10 times to get the full feel of it, so it was my "driving home from work CD". My least favorite song is "Get On Your Boots" (and frankly, when that was first released I was afraid of what the new album would be ...)

"Magnificent" is my favorite on the album and may be the inspiration for my next tattoo "Only love can leave such a mark, but only Love can heal such a scar."

Duh, thanks

I'm an IDIOT

I got my 2 GA's for the Rose Bowl this morning!! Everything went smoothly except for the part where Black Eyed Peas was listed as the opener and not Muse!!! So sad now! However, we're going to see U2 and that's all that really matters. But U2 and Muse together would have been heavenly!!

Now just have to wait for Vegas to go on sale and keep my fingers crossed we'll get Muse there!!

 

[tofubeast]

Awesome. I scored my pair of GA for Tampa in the presale today. So excited!! There are rumors that there could be a second U2 show in Tampa. I am so happy about Muse. I love them!! yay!!

My sister just won Red Zone tickets for the show at Giants Stadium! I'm so jealous!

Hi everyone! I don't know how I missed this thread. Anyone going to Gillette in September? I was able to get 2 GA's to the 9/20 show and 2 GA's to the 9/21 show thanks to the pre-sales. I'm in the horizon group so I was happy to get first crack at the tickets so to speak. I've been a fan for I don't know how long. I was with Propaganda then stuck with them to the old site and onto the new site.

I'm glad I had great luck with the presale, I was due! I had bad luck with Letterman and the Somerville show. I was thisclose to getting Letterman tickets but I botched it up. I signed up for tickets in early February when I heard U2 was going to be on the show. The Thursday before the shows I got a call from Letterman's office. All I had to do was answer a question about Tony Mendez to win the tickets. I had studied about the Letterman show (I watch the show but not every night, too late for me) but blanked out on Mendez. When I finally blurted out he's from Cuba, the gentleman on the other end of the line apologized and said he had just timed me out because it's a "contest to get Letterman tickets" they don't just "give them away."

Then, I was also thisclose to winning the tickets for the Sommerville show. I was caller 99 on AAF, you had to be caller 100. UGH, I'm still upset about that.


Anyway, I'm looking forward to September although I do wish they were playing the Garden instead but I'll go anywhere to see them!

We went to 5 of the 7 Boston shows during the last tour and we made it into the ellipse for one of the shows. Here's a couple of pictures: (sorry they're small!) I'll have to figure out how to resize them.

How cool! How did she win them?

Hi Cinmell, I've been wondering where you've been!!
I'm glad you got your tickets hassle free!! I would love to travel to see them but money is so tight this year. At least I can count on some awesome pictures from all you guys!!

 

[jenny105]

How cool! How did she win them?

Well, it was an auction. She bid $400, never thinking she'd win because others were going for in the thousands. And she won. I'd be going with her if I wasn't headed to WDW that week!

I've had to sit out this leg of the tour because my husband is currently on half pay but things are starting to look up for him so there's hope. I read that there will be another swing through in the Spring. I can't imagine that they'll come to the US and not come back to Boston, so I'm holding on to my presale code and keeping my fingers crossed! I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures from this time around.

BTW, how much are the tickets going for? I need to know how much to sock away.
